[issue4750] tarfile keeps excessive dir structure in compressed files

[Lars Gustäbel]

Lars Gustäbel <lars at gustaebel.de> added the comment:

The latest patch (4750.gzip.basename.fix.diff) cannot be used the way it
is. The problem is that it uses the name attribute to store the basename
with the .gz extension stripped. This breaks compatibility.
